US to LH F tight connection in DFW
Hello everyone,
Hopping over from the UA forum to see if anyone could provide any friendly advice on my upcoming trip.
I am flying US F CLT-DFW (US893- gets in at 3.08pm) and connecting onto LH 439 (leaves at 4.20pm) to FRA in F.
Now, I understand that I would be arriving into E terminal and leaving out of D. I'm not particularly familiar with DFW so I'm wondering if this connection is too tight to make the flight (assuming I land on time).
Would I have to get out of Terminal E and clear security again to get to Terminal D? Is there any kind of fast transfer for F passengers on tight connections?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you so much

No need to reclear security at DFW. All the terminals are connected airside by the Skylink train. Shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to go between any gate in the airport. Don't dally but this connection shouldn't be an issue.

Mod action: moving this over to the Flyertalk Texas forum, where this should get greater visibility.
Thanks!

Just take the Skylink train from one end to the other.
